Background Clinical assessments of peripheral artery disease (PAD) severity are insensitive
to pathophysiological changes in muscle tissue oxygenation and energy metabolism distal …

Purpose To develop a contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) technique to measure
skeletal muscle perfusion in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Materials and Methods A total …

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the lower extremities often leads to intermittent
claudication. In the present study, we proposed a low-dose DCE MRI protocol for quantifying …

Purpose To investigate the relationship between the atherosclerotic lesion load determined
on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and phosphocreatine (PCr) kinetics during …

Background: Contrast-enhanced (CE) calf perfusion MRI at peak exercise (Ex) distinguishes
normal subjects from peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients. Perfusion at rest can now …
